Seeing "Kincha Tools" related to Hideyoshi
I think that you may not have the opportunity to see it if you go to an individual's hand, the other day, Shinwa Auction Co., Ltd. visited a preview of the auction held at Ginza 7-chome, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi gave it to Takatora Todo, a warlord during the Warring States period. I saw the "Kincha Tools Set". I was inhaled by the fine patterns, and I was just overwhelmed by the shining beauty.
According to the catalog introducing this auction exhibition, it is a treasured item that even the head of the Todo family could only be seen once a year, and was introduced to national treasures, Imperial family items, and famous families in 1929. It is said that the art exposition "Japan Meiho Exhibition", which was held by collecting works of art that were considered to be out of the gate, attracted the most attention of visitors. During World War II, he was offered a metal collection order, but fortunately was left by the Bank of Japan without being used as a resource for weapons production, and was sold back after the end of the war and became the possession of the Todo family again. I followed a strange fate. According to the quality measurement of gold during the Bank of Japan period, it was estimated that gold was 80-88% and silver was 12-20%.
An art museum in Ibaraki, a successful bid for 300 million yen
The auction was held at a venue in Chiyoda-ku, and although it was refused to guarantee authenticity, it was awarded for 300 million yen. The number of auctions was 336, and works by Tsuguji Fujita, Kaii Higashiyama, Yayoi Kusama were also exhibited, but it was definitely worth it. According to the Nikkei Shimbun, the winning bidder is the Hirosawa Museum of Art in Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture, which is one of the highlights of the town revitalization, and it seems that it is not far away to see it again. In this interview, Mr. Aya Takai, Senior, Operator, Arts and Public Relations Section of the company's Business Department, took care of me. Thank you very much.
